Why are children allowed sail boats around the world? More importantly why don't her parents tell her to cop the fcuk on and go to school instead?

Sounds like a typical woman in control of a mode of transport, once they're not looking manage to collide with something about 20,000 times the size / weight of them.:p

Australian kids are stupid. Last month, wasn't there two Aussie kids who got trapped in a drain and instead of phoning the emergency helpline, they updated their facebook profiles instead?

I would..

She was less than 24 hours into a test voyage between Queensland and Sydney when she struck a 63,000-tonne freighter

HA!! She might as well have crashed into a cliff

cba reading everything

at 16 she don't have a driving license.

did she have a radio operators license

did she have comprehensive insurance ?

serious question since people crossing the atlantic need to have something like £22,000 bond in case they need rescuing, there is serious money supporting her / paying for a boat capable of rounding the southern ocean ,

tbh she sounds like a hzard to navigation and may endanger the lives of others who may have to rescue her
